being that Cousins is a top 3 center and that Centers are the most desired position, i'm willing to guess that anyone in the league with the intention of winning this season would've made a play for him and probably given up more to get him if the opportunity presented itself.

To be honest, I would have given another potential keeper along Nene. For example Nene and Shved or Nene and Splitter. But maybe Nene is the player Brwnman was interested in
